Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4≤W1/W2≤6.0 is satisfied. W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.
